Bills LT Dion Dawkins talks about 'gladiator battles' with Jared Verse
Browns defensive end Jared Verse and Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins both love to talk. They also love to face each other like they did Aug. 20.
Berea - For Cleveland Browns fans who miss Myles Garrett, there's someone to relate to in Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins. Dawkins expressed his sadness about not being able to play alongside the two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year in a joint practice with the Browns on August 20. He acknowledged that Jared Verse, another defensive end, is a formidable opponent, comparing their matchup to gladiator battles.
Both players shared their excitement about facing each other, with Dawkins even mentioning that he can't wait to practice against Verse every day. Verse and Dawkins have only met once before, in a Week 14 game in which Verse had only two combined tackles. Verse remembered the game as being loud and violent, with both players making errors.
Dawkins, on the other hand, appreciated the matchup and looks forward to continuing the rivalry. Both players also acknowledged the importance of their words during the practice, indulging in friendly banter as they prepared for their upcoming matchups against each other.
